The availability of fish in Indonesia is very high, but the national fish consumption rate is low. The purpose of this study was to analyze the difference in the speed of perineal wound healing in postpartum mothers with protein intake from snakehead fish and mackarel tuna fish. Method: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a post-test only control group design approach. The number of samples used was 48 respondents who were selected using simple random sampling and divided into three groups. Result: The results of the Kruskal Wallis analysis showed a P value of 0.036, so it can be concluded that there is at least an effect of providing intervention on perineal wound healing. The highest wound healing ranking was in the snakehead fish group with a value of 20.45, then the mackarel tuna fish group 16.45 and the control group 9.60. Conclusion : So mothers who have perineal stitches are advised to increase their protein consumption from either snakehead fish or mackarel tuna fish as an alternative to accelerate the perineal wound healing process.

Background: Dyspepsia syndrome is a common digestive disorder among adolescents, particularly females, and is influenced by dietary habits, including spicy food consumption. Spicy foods contain capsaicin, which can increase stomach acid production and irritate the gastric mucosa, potentially triggering dyspepsia symptoms. This study aims to examine the relationship between spicy food consumption and dyspepsia syndrome among female students at SMP Negeri 3 Tuban. Method: This study employed a descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 105 female students were selected using cluster sampling. Spicy food consumption was assessed using a Likert-scale questionnaire, while dyspepsia symptoms were measured using the Postprandial Distress Syndrome (PDS) scale. Data analysis was conducted using Spearman’s correlation test. Results: The study found that 60% of respondents had a moderate level of spicy food consumption, while 65.7% experienced moderate dyspepsia symptoms. Statistical analysis showed a significant positive correlation between spicy food consumption and dyspepsia syndrome (p = 0.000, r = 0.410), indicating that higher spicy food consumption increases the likelihood of dyspepsia symptoms. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between spicy food consumption and dyspepsia syndrome among female students. It is recommended that adolescents regulate their spicy food intake and adopt a balanced diet to prevent digestive issues. Schools and families should provide education on healthy eating habits to reduce the risk of dyspepsia.
